'More must be done' on min wage cheats
TUC: Five shamed employers 'tip of the iceberg'
The naming and shaming of five employers who breached minimum wage laws is a good start but more needs to be done, the TUC said yesterday.
The government said the naming of the individuals was a "clear warning" to employers, but the trade union group said more action was needed in terms of enforcement.
Five employers from Macclesfield, Manchester, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough and Carmarthen "neglected" to pay workers sums ranging from £225 to £1,700.
